RE: [PROPOSAL] General Availability of ApacheOpenOffice 4.1.2-patch1 Hotfixes

2016-08-26 Thread Dennis E. Hamilton 
[BCC to PMC, FYI to L10N and QA.]

The 4.2.1-patch1 release repository is now populated with the only 
localizations that we have: English (en-US) and German (de) for all platforms 
plus the additional Nederland (nl) for Windows.  The localizations took until 
yesterday, 2016-08-25, to be completed.

Propagation to the archive site has begun and will probably not be complete for 
another 24 hours.  Meanwhile, an updated CVE-2016-1513 will be prepared.  The 
update will be posted when the archive is stable, along with notification to 
dev@ and users@.  Those actions will provide the general availability of the 
Hotfix.

While minor blemishes may remain, this material will be kept stable as is 
unless a serious defect is brought to our attention.  Cosmetic matters are 
appropriate to save for whenever we need to do this again.

One lesson: Localizations should not hold up release in the future.  
Localizations not available during the initial dev QA and review period should 
not stop the train.  Supplemental localizations are always possible.  That will 
likely always be the case when a hotfix is made available along with an initial 
vulnerability disclosure and advisory.

The design of the site 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2-patch1/hotfix.html is 
very confusing.

By this I mean the current labeling of table headers and the first column, are 
in the 2 tables reversed.

Can we use a uniform table:

Operating System | Language| Instructions | Download | Signature | 
Digital Hashes
MS Windows   | English (en-US) | ...  | ...  | ...   |
 | Nederland (nl) Dutch| ...  | ...  | ...   |
 | Germany (de) German | ...  | ...  | ...   |
MacOS X  | English (en-US) | ...  | ...  | ...   |
Linux 32-bit | English (en-US) | ...  | ...  | ...   |
Linux 64-bit | English (en-US) | ...  | ...  | ...   |



I wanted to make the changes itself, but I can not access the CMS, I do not 
know why.

I am about to start staging the Hotfixes that we have for general distribution.

I do have some changes to the Windows version that I will make first.

 1. The APPLY/REVERT scripts have a minor inconsistency in the formatting of a 
message following a successful operation.  (This was caught already in the 
Dutch translation and drafts of the German one.)

 2. The README is corrected
a. To identify the location where the correct Zip should be downloaded 
(already done in the Dutch version).
b. To update the Acknowledgment (ditto).
c. Improve wording in the note about Anti-Virus options to request 
permission to accept the Zip download.

That is starting now.

PS: Additional languages can be staged whenever they are checked and ready.

There have been no comments concerning the placement of the current materials 
into general distribution.

In addition, there is a set of Dutch (Nederland) language that also passes all 
tests and has been carefully proof-read.  These have been added to the 
directory folder.  (They are not reflected in the hotfix.html so far.)


I would prefer to have an own webpage for all languages. Otherwise we 
will have a hugh webpage for a little patch which isn't looking smart IMHO.



A set of German (Deutsch) language scripts has been prepared and had to be changed 
from Unicode (UTF8) to ISO 8859-1 (Western European) in order to run properly on 
Windows XP.  The script window does not show extended characters used in German on an 
English Windows XP, but the scripts run correctly.  They should appear correctly in 
Windows XP installs set for Western European languages.  This part remains to be 
confirmed.  See.

If the German version is not complete today, I propose going ahead with the 
general distribution of the English and Dutch ones and adding the German set 
later.


German won't be ready in the next hours but hopefuĺly within this week. 
So, we should go online with the stuff we have.

[BCC PMC, FYI QA]

At this time, the preparation and dev@/qa@ confirmation of the AOO
4.1.2-patch1 Hotfixes has quieted.

I propose that the current binaries be placed into general availability.
I am initiating lazy consensus to end not before Tuesday, 2016-08-
23T22:00Z.

MATERIALS TO BE AVAILABLE

  * The file hotfix.html at

will be made available at


  * The directory folder

will be made available as a subdirectory of
.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF AVAILABILITY

   * The CVE-2016-1513 advisory,
 ,
 will be reissued to include availability of the hotfix and
 refer users to the hotfix.html page in the archive 4.1.2-patch1
 location.

   * There will be an accompanying announcement on dev@, users@,
 and in the two bugzilla issues related to the defect that the
 hotfix applies to.

WHAT TO REVIEW

You can find everything to be made available by starting with the
hotfix.html page at
.

IGNORE the Source column.  The source release has already occurred, and
those links will not be valid until deployment of hotfix.html to the
archive location.

The README files are the next materials to examine.  There you can learn
more about the hotfix for each of the four platforms: Windows, MacOSX,
Linux32, and Linux64.  Follow any of the procedures that you want to
verify.

In addition, there is a set of Dutch (Nederland) language that also passes all
